Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

Wallyworld - Thanks for sharing this video, it's great! That Lionel at the station early on is not only prewar it's WW1 prewar! Toys, toys, toys!

Although I do not own any pre-war trains, I could watch this video again and again.  It was a joy to watch.

What are the details on that monorail?

Thanks for posting Wally.

Its a O scale Leyland-Detroit Monorail if my memory serves me right.. MTH made a reproduction of it several years ago which  CTT reviewed , which still might be in their archives.This one may be an original but I have no way to tell. The video really captures that era, especially the music. It's the bees knees..

It's not mine. The gentleman's name is given at the beginning of the video. If I remember correctly, I think he belongs to the TCA. Sorry, that's all I know about him.
